2010/11/3 & 2010/11/10

  1. Form 4 groups specializing on the Saxon curricula for years 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12,
  2. Authoring: Log in, create a wiki page (one per group, add the tag “curriculum”). Analyze the respective curricula and textbooks on your wiki group page:
    • outline the objectives to be achieved
    • the contents to be covered
    • identify occasions for working with digital media
  3. come up with project ideas (at least two) in the wiki, and plan them on FTE.
    • goals, topic & how the project ties in with the curriculum
    • media type / necessary resources
    • rough project plan (timeframe, phases)
    • choice of media (how the media type enhances the learning experience)

  2. language: grammar, orthography, punctuation
  3. integration: Are links to relevant information included? Links to project plans?
  4. visual appeal: pictures, other media included?

2. Feedback

Authors and Coaches get together to exchange feedback (10mins).

Groups continue to work on their own pages. Begin to think about how you want to present your analysis & project proposals.
